Green Patches and Horizontal Line

AT TIME OF FOCUS SCREEN IS PERFECTLY COLOURED BUT AFTER TAKING PHOTOS ,IT CONTAIN GREEN PATCHES AND HORIZONTAL LINES.
Videos are perfect.
There are no HP service centers for cameras in bangalore.
I got it checked with some private shop he told me that optical assembly is gone and it has to be replaced @ 3500 INR
Its too expensive!
Browsing thru this site I found that many of them have this problem.
Kidly help me

Same problem here. HP sucks. I called CS about it. Was told due to the fact I didn't buy the extended warranty there was nothing I could do, except pay an additional $250 and they'll replace it with the same piece of ****. Enraged. This was a REALLY expensive camera when I bought it.Same problem here. HP sucks. I called CS about it.

Mine's doing the same thing. I called HP and was told since the warranty has expired I only had two options. 1. I could speak to IT (for $30) 2. I could get the camera replaced with the same piece of ****, for an additional cost of $250.Way to stand behind your product, HP. Now I'm pissed, because after vowing NEVER to buy another HP I notice my PC, printer, etc are all the same **** brand. Great. More problems in the future. Mine's doing the same thing.

mine has the same problem. however, at night, the pictures are perfect. the green patches and horizontal lines appear only when the place is lighted.mine has the same problem. however, at night, the pictures are perfect. the green patches and horizontal lines appear only when the place is lighted.

Its your ccd chip,, its broken,, u can let them repair it but its cheaper to buy a new one,, your ccd chip does not show the manufactor on your screen but it controls the colours of your photo, so u only can see this when u took the picture,, and for some reason the video does not need the ccd chip,, the ccd chip is only for the photos u gonna take,, hope i helped ya

It is a common fault to occur in most of the CRT based telvisions, regardless of which brand it is.There will be sound OK, and a bright screen with thin white horizontal lines across; at about an inch space, all over the screen area.This fault may occur along with colur shades also, like blue screen with white retrace line, red screen with white retrace lines, green screen with white retrace lines.Let us take the first case.A white raster with white thin retrace line acorss the screen.These are call vertcial retrace lines technically.To make it mor understand, we have to go to some picture tube electrode details.There are three colour cathodes for a colour picture tube, Red, Blue and Green. Two girds are there called Focus and Screen.Focus grid is supplied with focus voltage which in turn determine the cocus of picture, and screen grid is supplied with screen volrage which determine the emission of the picture tube; in short.There is a final anode to all the picture tubes, which supplied with Extra High Tension voltage, can be located at the top side of the picture tube, to which the EHT voltage from LOT is connected with the help of rubber ****** and clip. Without these three voltages, EHT, Screen and Fcous, no raster will be produced.Therefore in our case, there is a raster, so, horizontal output section including Line Output Transformer [LOT] is functioning well, and as far as sound is there, tuner and video IF section are working well.In fact, all other section except, video output section is working properly.There are three cathode points on the base card, marked as Bk, Rk and Gk.Check the voltages of these three cathodes.In our case, it will be very low or approximately equal to zero.When cathode voltages goes low, emission of the CRT increases, is the reason.There must be a voltage between 120 and 135VDC at these points.Find out the reason for this voltage drop is the next step. The video drive voltages in most TVs comes from LOT windings, after rectification and filtering.There will be one reisitor of low value, say one Ohms or so, will be connected series with this winding, in between diode and winding.Check the voltage at the cathode of this rectifier diode first.If found low replace the diode and the smoothin capcitor.The smoothing capacitor will be between 33 and 47MFD 250VDC rating.Replace both of them.If there is volatge, say 200VDC or so, check whether this voltage comes to the CRT base board or not,If not, check the conducting wire, serial resistors; if used for open. There is no chance of transistor shortage at this time as the raster we see is white.If raser we see have a specific colour predominent, that is green, blue or red, check the revalent video out transistors and replace it.It is best to replace all the three video output transisors at the same time with same batch and number.

hi i have same prob iv bin told its a convergence chip an thay r £150 ! thay go bout evry 6 years an its comon .. any way there coming 2 fix mine 2day so ill let u know if it sorts it out my mail is mjoutlaw@hotmail.co.uk thanx

Providing the images remain OK - Do They?
It is best to ignore the problem, because there is no repair solution.
You could get on the HP Technical Support Team to see what they have to say - this may be a manufacturing fault.

Is good that you hit it and it reacts,very likely you have loose conections in different places but for the distorted picture you need to check the horizontal driver transformer and flyback after that is corrected you need to check the complete chassis for loose conections.Take your time.Good luck.
